Authentic Nigerien Pan-Fried Mushroom Rice

Assemble the ingredients: mushroom, parsley, salt, cumin, flour, chili, paprika.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the mushroom and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Nigerien flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Nigerien accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
